Review:

Confined, disturbingly, to his philtrum or infranasal depression, an even more distinctively reduced
area than Hitler's. Like some unsettlingly displaced Brazilian wax job, a horrible, anomalous fungal
growth or, worst of all, a permanent encrustation of bristly snot. What could be the thinking behind
it? 'All tyrants must have a distinctive moustache'? 'This bit is harder to shave so I just won't
bother'? Or perhaps just an insidious yet ever present statement of his continuing contempt for the
people of his country: 'Other, lesser leaders must maintain a good appearance to hold onto power. I
am so invincible that I can daily force the public to look at my unattractively weird facial hair.'
